- Direct access to a Fleet Feet coach via email for questions and guidance
- Ongoing Q&A support through a monitored Strava group
- Monthly newsletters (July–November) with training tips, race prep advice, and motivation
- Live educational webinars (August–November) covering key topics like fueling, pacing, race strategy, and mindset
